Zhou Xiaohu's tearful remarks can't be said to be touching, but he is the only one who said that he wants to talk to Zhang Rui.

You can't blame those green battalion soldiers for this, after all, no one has the same experience as Zhou Xiaohu.

In their opinion, Zhang Rui can only be a dead end, even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their families.

The Chinese people are the easiest to manage, as long as there is a way to live, people will not choose to rebel, which has to be thanks to China's unique numerology: there is no resentment.

For example, now Zhang Rui wants to recruit more players, but it is not so easy. After all, entering Zhang Rui's bandit team again is equivalent to being an "anti-thief". Few people are willing to die, and few people are willing to be "anti-thieves".

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Rui's soldiers can only come from two sources.

One is the source of soldiers directly connected to the mountain. At present, we can only wait for more poor people to join. At this point, those who helped Zhang Rui publicize helped him, so this world is said to be blessed and miscarry.

The second is someone who has some deep hatred with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Such as Wang Kaiyuan and so on.

Unless Zhang Rui can conquer several cities in a row and forcibly recruit troops, he can only grow up slowly.

But if the Manchu court knew that it still existed, it would not let itself develop so slowly.

Although Zhou Xiaohu's account did not let those green battalion soldiers join, it planted seeds in their hearts. We'll see how the rest develops.

"Sixth brother, are those really captive soldiers?" After walking out of the camp of the captive soldiers, Wang Kaiyuan asked Zhang Rui suspiciously

"yes, what's not to wonder about?" Zhang Rui asked rhetorically

"No, the ancients said: the benevolent are invincible. Don't lie to me! I think it was also the benevolence of the sixth brother that moved them. Wang Kaiyuan listened to Zhang Rui's answer and couldn't help but sigh

"What a solution!" Zhang Rui didn't understand.

"Because of your battlefield rescue! The students had never heard of a team that would rescue an enemy. This is true even of the righteous and righteous teachers in history, who only use the heads of their enemies as their own military merits. It is precisely because of the sixth brother's rescue that they can be grateful. That's why it is said that the sixth brother is benevolent and righteous, and he is invincible. Wang Kaiyuan said with some excitement

"Really? It's not enough for you to think so. Zhang Rui stopped, looked at Wang Kaiyuan who was following him behind him and said: "Remember that you have to be strong, only if you are strong enough to be undefeated, can they be grateful to you." It's not that their gratitude now won't affect them from cutting off your failed head, at most they will be silent in their hearts for you for no more than three seconds. ”

"Three seconds?" Wang Kaiyuan was a little puzzled, and at the same time, he also admired Zhang Rui's mature mind even more.

"It's hard to imagine that such a teenager can see things so clearly!"

"Yes, that bit of gratitude will not affect their thoughts on military exploits. There is no need to be complacent about that moment of silence. Zhang Rui nodded and replied

"So, Sixth Brother, why did you put so much effort into saving those injured captives? Wouldn't it be a few fewer enemies to cut them directly? Wang Kaiyuan couldn't turn around.

"You are now a staff master, this should be an exercise for you to practice! Come back in a few days and tell me what I really think. Zhang Rui said with a smile at Wang Kaiyuan, and then continued to walk forward. Silently in my heart:

"After a while, you won't see my purpose. Then I have to consider whether you are up to the task. ”

"Yes, Sixth Brother." Wang Kaiyuan replied to Zhang Rui, and also followed Zhang Rui's steps.

……

"Sixth brother, I found a team ten miles ahead, it seems that it is the person who came to redeem the captives." At this time, Hong Hu, the head of the scout team, came over to report in front of Zhang Rui

"Oh? It's always here, and I've had to wait so long. Any idea where Kai-Fu Lee is? Find someone to inform him! Zhang Rui said to Hong Hu

"Yes, Sixth Brother. So I'll go and find someone. After speaking, Hong Hu saluted Zhang Rui again, and then left.

Less

"Sixth brother." Li Kaifu, who came over, asked Zhang Rui with a bow

"Well, now your men are here. How do you need me to cooperate with you? Zhang Rui asked Li Kaifu

At that time, General Guerjia will take the opportunity to transfer the Eight Banners Han Army that came over to transport it together, leaving only "our" people. But if someone from the Eight Banners Han Army comes over, just trouble the sixth brother to admit that you are from the Wuzhou Green Camp. Kai-Fu Lee said

"That's it? That's no problem! It was so simple, Zhang Rui naturally agreed without much thought.

Ten miles of road, said far is not far, said near is not close. But it was enough for Sitku and them to walk for more than an hour. It's not that they drag, it's just that there is a huge fleet of 0 plus mountain roads that are not easy to walk, so after all, it is late.

Li Kaifu looked at the information that the scout team members kept transmitting to Zhang Rui's side, and let go of the last defeat in his heart.

The team that can collect intelligence information in such detail is an elite, and it is not unjust to lose to them.

……

According to the information of the two parties alternated with each other, the transaction was completed naturally.

Sitku held the coveted note, feeling like he would never be scared again. Then he took the captives and walked back.

Zhang Rui also asked people to take over the convoy of ox carts. Looking at this huge convoy, he had to sigh:

"Good fellow, it's good that they gave them a nationwide silver ticket of 500,000 taels of silver. Now there are sixty-two ox carts for one million taels of silver, and if the five hundred thousand taels are also cash silver, there are not more than 100 ox carts? ”

Since it was afternoon, Zhang Rui was not in a hurry to go back. After all, there are a million taels of silver here now, and who knows if they will return the carbine in Sitku?

To be on the safe side, all the ox carts were driven to the camp first. Until Sitku they left completely, went back to Guangzhou and rushed back. At the same time, for the sake of safety, Zhang Ruirang brought more than 1,000 bandit team members to serve as the queen of the palace.

The camp is not far from here, and it is not difficult for the ox cart to catch up with the camp. Zhang Rui asked His Royal Highness to prevent the Eight Banners Han Army from being attacked by the Eight Banners Han Army with the silver guards in Xiteku during the transportation process.

If that's the case, you can't fight back by your own organization, and the team will fail miserably. At that time, everything will be over, so Zhang Rui has to face these carefully.

…

"General Gualja, what's going on?" Geng Shang, the leader of the Eight Banners Han Army, looked directly at the large number of captive soldiers brought back by Sitku, so he knelt down on the swing of Sitku on his horse and asked

"What's going on? These are their own brothers. Now that you're back, don't ask anything. Sitku replied with a very bad face

Geng Shangzhi listened to Sitku's words, where could he not understand. I said in my heart:

"It seems that the rumors are true, this Yang Yingju and Sitku were really defeated by that Zhang Rui. It's really embarrassing for me to lose the face of the Qing Dynasty, so many people will actually lose to the group of Guangxi monkeys who have just put down their hoes. I don't know how the saint will feel when he knows about it, it seems that this battle still has to be fought by our Eight Banners Han Army. ”
